There's several i believe the Australian delicate is sort of "deepwater".

But I've also have seen the thin branched naka critter wich is completely different.

BTW the delicate does change to brownish and the green poyps at least in my tank have dissapeared.

I don't have recent pics mainly becasue this specific coral has not done very well, grows but lack of coloration is very obvious.

i *think* dustin's deepwater and the bali deepwater are 2 different things

the bali deepwater has smooth and very long coralites......here is dustin's deepwater on liveaquaria.

http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden...1991&siteid=20

liveaquaria had the bali deepwater about a month ago for sale, but it was $130 for 1"

I stand corrected. The one I have is the Bali Deepwater.

i agree......kinda like when they released the roscoe's acro....looked too much like a mix b/w the chips and tort......looks almost the same to me....thus not really worth dropping the coinage on it.

the bali deepwater looks drastically unique though.

well, i picked up my ORA deepwater frag today. it was labeled as "dustin's deepwater", but it definitely looked like the bali deepwater. has long thin coralites that are a dark emerald green, and the tips absolutely glow in a light blue to intense purple.

this is the one i intended to get....as the species is "surahusi" (sp?).

no clue on that one from liveaquria...i think they may have messed up and mislabeled whatever that acro they showed, b/c it definitely looked nothing like what i picked up today.

I have all three(roscoes,chips, blue/green tort) and they are definitely all unique and awesome in there own ways. If you like tort style stags with great polyp extension and deep colors that stay then all three are a must IMO.
